Description of the problem	Takata recall 2010 volskwagen gti did not fall under the takata recall vin numbers, however my front left airbag is needing a complete replacement. The airbag service indicator light came on when i started my vehicle up in the driveway. It was brough to a mechanic checked the issue. It was found with the following fault code: "code b10001b, drive airbag igniter resistance too high // inspect plug" though the same exact make/model/year of my vehicle fall under the takata recall i was told by volkswagen that my vehicle's vin did not fall under the recall.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
